INTRODUCTORY. 


In  publishing  this  Catalogue  we  realize  that  it  will  be  necessary 
for  men  who  wish  to  buy  horses  to  actually  see  them  ;  that  pictures 
and  descriptions  in  catalogues  are  not  sufficient,  therefore  in  this  we 
have  simply  given  a  list  of  our  horses  and  the  cuts  of  some  of  them. 

These  cuts  are  as  nearly  true  to  life,  as  it  is  j^ossible  for  artistic 
skill  and  photography  to  make  them.  The  purpose  of  this  publica- 
tion is  not  to  add  to  the  reputation  of  these  two  breeds  of  French 
horses,  for  their  merits  are  two  well  known  for  us  to  add  anything, 
but  it  is  for  the  purpose  of  advertising  the  fact,  that  we  have  the  best 
horses  of  both  of  these  breeds  produced  on  either  Continent.

Ouly  the  best  Stallion.s  are  approved  for  pul> 
lic  .service  in  France,  the  inferior  ones  are  never 
allowed  to  reproduce  their  defects. 

The  climate  in  France  is  very  similar  to  onrs, 
consequently  the  vStallions  brought  from  there  very 
readily  become  acclimated.

A  Stallion  reproduces  his  merits  or  defects  so 
many  times  each  year  in  his  offspring,  that  the 
greatest  economy  in  breeding  is  to  procure  the 
Best  Sires.  The  first  cost  of  a  valuable  Sire  is  of 
really  little  consequence,  when  results  are  taken 
into  consideration.

America's  Leading  Horse  Importers. 

PERCHERON  and  FRENCH    COACHERS. 

Every  prize  winner  at  the  Great  Annual  Show 
of  France  in  1899,  brought  to  America  was  im- 
ported by  us.  We  brought  twice  the  number  of 
stallions  imported  by  any  other  firm  in  that  ^-ear. 

The  unprecedented  growth  of  our  business  is 
due  to  the  excellent  quality  of  our  stock,  careful, 
conservative  management,  just  and  liberal  treatment 
of  customers  and  perfect  fulfilment  of  obligations.
